2004 Ravenswood Zinfandel Sonoma Old VineRavenswood is one of the pioneers of the Zinfandel re-birth. Sonoma is among the very finest Zinfandel growing regions. Old vines produce intense, layered Zinfandel wines. 2004 was an excellent year for Zinfandel in Sonoma. You can get it all in this wine for a pittance. Lovely briary, raspberry & blackberry fruit with fine structure and good length make this a very nice wine for everyday sipping at a great price. The first 25 purchasers of this wine will receive a set of four "No Wimpy Wines" charms.

2005 Easton Zinfandel Amador CountyThis wine is loaded with ripe, forward, spicy blackberry fruit and is true to its Sierra Foothills origins. This is a very nice Zinfandel at a great price. Bill Easton of Easton wines is among the very most quality-minded winemakers in California and it shows in the bottle. Drink this wine with just about anything hearty. It pairs well with barbequed meats and spicy foods like Chili

2005 Bodegas Borsao Tres Picos Garnacha
91 points from the Wine Advocate. Here is their review: "This remarkably hedonistic wine has been a perennial best buy in the pages of this journal. The 2005 Tres Picos Granacha is purple-colored with a cherry-scented nose that roars from the glass. It is intensely fruity, with terrific depth and concentration, oodles of sweet fruit, and terrfic length. This wine, which can be likened to cherry pie in a glass, is an awesome value. Drink it over the next 1-2 years."
